Question of the Day, January 11, 2011

[JWRosser]

No...I would die. And even if I didn't, I imagine, after the overwhelming sites, it's quite a boring place.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Maybe... Not like there are that many people here I'd really miss... I'd probably kill myself after a little bit though... It'd probably be incredibly boring over there...

 

[RA92]

Only if the CIA finally catches up with my schizophrenic mass murdering tendencies and it all ends with a big chase involving me stealing an STS-1 and being pursued by multiple Boeing X-37s which shoots my space shuttle down and I crash land on Mars. For the next few centuries, my maniac laughter from the barren wastelands of Mars transcending the very fabric of space and time through all possible (and some impossible) frequencies will keep colonization efforts of the Red Planet well at bay!

Otherwise, blergh. My couch is way too comfy.

 

[Andalusa]

If I had nothing left on Earth, then why not? It'd be an adventure.

 

[righthanded]

I have a hard time not viewing this as anything but mass suicide. Have fun cutting your balls off and dying in you Keds.

 

[marscentral]

If I got to know my fellow travellers before leaving Earth and liked them and I could still phone home, get TV/films/games sent to me and we're establishing a sustainable colony that others will come to in the future...

Absolutely.

 

[GeorgW]

Not right now, but maybe when I'm older.

 

[The Last Nomad]

I'd seriously consider it, not right now of course, I still have to see the rest of our own planet, but if it does indeed go ahead in 20 years, I might actually try to sign up.

 

[vivster]

anyone who wants this has no idea about space travel or space in general

so yeah...send those guys to mars and earth will thank you

 

[SirCannonFodder]

No, definitely not, there's still far too much for me to see and do on this planet, let alone another one.

 

[El Dingo]

I think it'd be an interesting trip, let alone going down in history as the FIRST interplanetary colonists for mankind. You'd be known for revolutionizing space travel, as well as touching literally BILLIONS of lives by your actions.

If offered to me, I'd have to SERIOUSLY consider it, but I'm definitely leaning towards, yeah, I'd go.

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

I'd love to, as long as I could live a reasonable life once I'm up there.

 

[Archemetis]

I can't even get on the train... I don't think a shuttle to another planet will work somehow.

 

[lolmynamewastaken]

i'd so go for that! hopefully it wouldn't end like that doctor who episode thouhg...

 

[k-ossuburb]

I don't see why not, I'm not really emotionally tied to this planet or anything on it. Sounds like a pretty decent job, too. Where do I sign up?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Can I smoke and drink and gamble on Mars? If so, sign me the fuck up.

 

[erbkaiser]

I won't go myself, but I wish I could send some others. I have a few billion people in mind...

 

[Dirkie]

I'd go. But i would bring my notebook and a big supply of games and some bits of software that can be used properly.
It would be a bit difficult to get me in a spacesuit, i'm not the smallest guy.

 

[Primate]

Do they have fiberoptic internet??

Seriosly, in a fucking heartbeat!! I love space!
